Hexyl hexanoate

Description:

Hexyl hexanoate, with the CAS number 6378-65-0, is an ester formed from hexanol and hexanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity odor, which makes it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its low volatility and relatively high boiling point compared to other esters. Hexyl hexanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its chemical structure features a long hydrocarbon chain, contributing to its lipophilic properties. Hexyl hexanoate is often used as a flavoring agent in food products and as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care items. Additionally, it may serve as a plasticizer in various polymer applications. Safety data indicates that while it is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to minimize exposure.

Hexyl Hexanoate

CAS: 6378-65-0

Hexyl hexanoate is a volatile organic compound that is a liquid at room temperature and pressure. It can be prepared by the esterification of hexanoic acid and hexanol. Hexyl hexanoate has been shown to be an effective polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer and also has fluorescence properties that can be used for surface methodology and solid phase microextraction. Hexyl hexanoate binds to odorant receptors in the nose, which may lead to its use as an artificial fruit flavoring or as a fragrance. Hexyl hexanoate has been shown to bind to ethyl decanoate and caproic acid with similar binding constants.
